Book synopsis

'One of the finest short-storywriters at work today.' WENDY ERSKINE
'One of our best short story writers.' THE TIMES
'Each story is a masterclass.' JAN CARSON

The much-anticipated new collection from the BBC National Short Story Award-winning author of Multitudes and Intimacies.

I still sometimes wonder if one could draw a window in the wall, or in the air, and step through it together. To somewhere else, entirely new.

From a highly charged Christmas party in Belfast to a passionate affair in Blitz-era London, to a trip to Marrakech which could form a new family, the thirteen striking stories of Openings pulse with possibility and illuminate those fleeting but recognisable moments of heartbreak and hope that can change the course of a life.

'It takes a writer as subtle, compassionate and clear-eyed as Caldwell to track the hidden forces that work upon us, to illuminate our secret selves. This is prose that liberates.' CLAIRE KILROY

'Caldwell has a glorious skill for creating narratives in which every element works in perfect tandem.'
SUNDAY TIMES
